I will be uploading screenshots of this game in imgur, with each part of the LP being its own album. I anticipate each part of the LP to be approximately one map's worth of content, though some busy maps (like cities) may have multiple parts. A single play session may cover multiple maps, and therefore generate multiple parts at once.
I will attempt to clear each map in a single visit, and will be visiting the maps in approximately what I consider to be ascending order of difficulty. My estimate of difficulty is very much based on what I remember of this game from my youth, and many of these mods will add new difficult encounters to areas that I remember as easy. I will therefore be taking the following approach to encounters:
- My first pass of each map will be casual, using only super long term buffs (such as stoneskin)
- If I run into an encounter that is too difficult casually, I will try it with slightly more prep (make sure I am rested up, maybe use some medium duration buffs)
- If the encounter is still to difficult, try it with lots of prep (fully pre-buffing, tailoring prepared spells)
- If that still won't do it, declare this encounter (and probably the whole map) to be too difficult for now, and come back later
The party I plan on running will have quite a high power ceiling (and for some members, a high power floor as well). I will be modifying the new EE NPCs to facilitate this, most notably with Rasaad. I consider the Rasaad-related content that I want to cover in this LP to be the conversations and quests related to him, and not the experience of playing with a monk. I played with monks quite a bit in my youth, and I consider them to be a fairly boring class in practice, so I will be modifying Rasaad to be a bard (blade kit). I will try to not use the full power ceiling of the party unless necessary.
